Tucker Carlson rips Michelle Obama over 'hostility' towards her husband
Tucker Carlson blasted Michelle Obama's "hostility" towards her spouse as an example of a troubling trend that is "wrecking society."
The Former First Lady "really dislikes her husband and it's super obvious," Carlson told Megyn Kelly on her podcast.
"I'm not just saying that to be catty... I think I'm trying to feel compassion for her but her hostility toward the guy is unbelievable," Carlson said.
Michelle Obama's hatred
Kelly agreed that Obama always appears to have something "negative" to say about her husband, Barack Obama, as Carlson quipped that Michelle Obama is "dying of affluence, privilege and self-obsession, obviously."
When she speaks about her husband, Obama tends to bring out his personal foibles, like his difficulty with being on time.
Carlson observed that the Former First Lady exudes a destructive "restlessness" that Carlson said is common among people who are wealthy but unfulfilled.
"It's not just her," he continued. "She's like a freak show and it's easy to make fun of her and I enjoy it, but I do think it's a whole class of people who are afflicted with the same kind of restlessness and rage and emptiness and they're the ones wrecking our society," he said.
There's a lesson here...
Beyond her marriage, Michelle Obama is known for her downbeat and often self-important commentary on American society. In a recent podcast appearance, Obama discussed her "fear" over President Trump's deportations, which she tied to her personal experiences dealing with so-called racism.
"This current climate for me, it’s what’s happening to immigrants. It’s not the fear for myself anymore. I drive around in a four-car motorcade with a police escort. I’m Michelle Obama,” she said.
Carlson and Kelly shared in mocking Obama's bizarre, grandiose way of describing herself.
“Who talks about themselves that way? Even if you are Michelle Obama,” Kelly said, adding, “Barack Obama doesn’t talk about himself that way.”
While her narcissism is amusing, there is an important lesson to be drawn from Obama's empty personal life, Carlson noted.
“One of the lessons I’ve always thought Michelle Obama’s life presented to the rest of us is: take some time to focus on your marriage,” Carlson said.
“They’re all about ‘I want a deal with Netflix’ and ‘I want a Kennedy Center’s honors award’ —- me me me me me — and they sort of miss the point, which is in a normal life, your marriage is the core of everything,” Carlson added.
